Samsung Electronics Launches PM1733 and PM1735 Series
| Application of FIP, SSD virtualization, and V-NAND machine learning
| Based on the next-generation PCIe Gen4 interface


On the 19th, Samsung Electronics released 19 PCIe Gen4 SSDs equipped with three major software technologies.

The three major software technologies are ▲Never Die SSD 'FIP' that allows for use without problems even when the NAND chip has an error ▲SSD virtualization that provides a virtual independent space for each user ▲V-NAND machine learning that accurately reads data using big data even at ultra-high-speed operations.

FIP (Fail-in-Place) technology consists of technology that detects errors in NAND chips (Fault chip detection), technology that checks for data damaged by NAND chips (Fault Data Scan), and technology that relocates original data to normal chips (Data Re-Location).

Applying FIP technology to 30.72TB SSD products detects the operating characteristics of each of the 512 NAND chips. When an error occurs, the error handling algorithm is automatically activated to maintain high performance and stable operation.

Samsung Electronics began mass production of its next-generation PCIe Gen4 interface-based NVMe SSDs, the PM1733 and PM1735 series, in August, leveraging three key software technologies. The PM1733 and PM1735 series are available in 19 models, ranging from 0.8TB to 30.72TB, in two formats: 2.5-inch (U.2) and HHHL (card-type).

In particular, the PM1735 12.8TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD boasts maximum sequential read (8GB/s) and write (3.8GB/s) speeds, which are up to 14 times faster than SATA SSDs. Its random read and write speeds are also 1.45 million and 260,000 IOPS, respectively. Furthermore, even if the entire SSD's capacity is written three times daily (3 DWPD: 3 Drive Writes Per Day), it is guaranteed to last for up to five years.

“By simultaneously providing the highest speed, capacity, and software solutions, we have been able to rapidly expand the premium SSD market,” said Kyung Kye-hyun, Vice President and Head of Solution Development at Samsung Electronics’ Memory Business Division. “We will contribute to the growth of the global IT market by launching a storage lineup based on the 6th generation V-NAND in the future.”
